F1 - All Time Driver Wins Ranked by %

[@chrisshelley3027]

I like the scrolling through, things go by and may be missed, this is a nice touch :)

[@USANA158]

Schumacher and Hamiltons records are mighty considering no. of races both have raced in. If not for the Merc stint, Schumacher would be mighty at like 1/3rd

[@dcarbs2979]

over 36% at end of Ferrari era.

[@plantfeeder6677]

That's more like it. Fangio, Ascari, Clark, and Vukovich. All the greatest of their time. Like I said. Give any of these drivers safe cars and an equal number of races to today and they would've been on top of every list you wanted to run these comparisons of.

[@andyharman3022]

Fangio raced to the top early, and nobody knocked him off. Very cool how you started scrolling down the list at 3:10 to show all the drivers.

[@zinosword]

FANGIO IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. If you put Michael or Lewis or any modern driver in that time in the scenarios he raced they would most likely either not make it (rip) or not be as good and as fast as Fangio

[@chrisb7198]

This is the one that shows the truth. Fangio is the benchmark.

[@loislane9972]

This is the best way to know the GOAT, BUT, yo need to put a MINIMUN of races started, 25 is ok but to me 50 is more accurate. And Fangio is still on TOP.

[@chrismuz]

Interesting that WDCs Alonso and Räikkönen didn't even make it onto this ranking! BTW, Dudes, I think you should only count drivers with at least (10 or better) 20 race participations, that would for example filter out all those drivers that historically only drove in the US. Cheers!

[@studlydudly]

Doing one based on how many races drivers finished vs won, would be a better reflection. Cars have become far more reliable over the years, this obviously gives the advantage to the more recent drivers.

[@Sorarse]

It would actually give the advantage to the older racers, as their wins will not change, but their finishes will be a lot lower than their actual races. E.g. if a racer took part in 100 races and won 10 of them, he will have a 10% win rate. If, however, he only finished in 50 of those races, his win to finished ratio will be 20%. The more races you can drop, the higher your rate increases.

I like this videos 👍👍😁😁

[@TheDataDudesF1]

thank you for spotting our previous mistake

[@jveit5463]

@@TheDataDudesF1 thanks again and no problem maybe to help again someday. 😁😁👍👍

[@danbradley7176]

It's interesting to see someone like Vettel shoot up so quickly and then gradually drop back down once the winning times have passed but it's kinda sad too. Looking at the results sorted by percentage gives a completely different view than looking at just totals; Hamilton has the most wins but may start to shuffle downhill if Merc doesn't get competitive again, or if he retires.

What software do you use for these videos? The video description credits Spectrum Monkey but all I find online going by that name is a Spanish language course site!

[@TheDataDudesF1]

It's self-made bespoke software by @SpectrumMonkey (one half of the Data Dudes). It's not commercially available (yet).

[@grrrexky]

It would be interesting to see the opposite, winning a championship with least races won

[@dcarbs2979]

Phil Hill. I think there is only one championship with one race win. No one has ever won a championship without a race win, all others have won at least twice in their championship year.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

Max has already passed Lewis and Michael. Lewis will fall behind Michael if he doesn't win a race by Azerbaijan.

[@julianwilcox399]

It still needs an added factor based on the percentage of races thata driver was in the best car. Schumachers has those couple of season with early Mercedes that dented his record somewhat, Most Drivers except Fangio started in low or mid range teams so they suffered early on with building percentages. Then there are Drivers like Alonso, Vettel and Jaques Villeneuve who moved to lesser teams after winning world championships to help develop new cars so they also suffer. Lewis Hamilton on the other hand has only ever been in one of the 2 best cars for his entire career until last season, SO his stats are falsely inflated . The key to everything is a weighting on car potential

[@dustyk103]

I still think the best measure is by podiums. Try different points. 3-2-1. 5-3-1. Who knows? It’s hard to measure against early drivers who raced six times a year compared to today’s more than 20. The more a driver wins in fewer races means little. Fangio was certainly one of the greatest. How do you determine who is the greatest? Beats me. I’d just list the top five or ten. They’re all pretty equal. Much depends on the car they had at the time compared to other cars.
